Customer Reviews
A {MUST} listen
Hallie’s passion for all things myo, TOTS, and PFDs is contagious!!! She shares the evidence that most of us (SLPs) didn’t know existed because of outdated teachings and practices from grad school. She uses both her personal and professional experience and is so relatable!
The most valuable resource for parents navigating TOTs and OMDs
After a year of my baby not sleeping more than an hour or two at a time, I finally found Hallies Podcast when she was a guest on another podcast I follow. She talked about the red flags of sleep issues, and I finally felt like it all made sense. I’m so grateful for the educational resource that this podcast is, because it made me a much more informed parent, and I was able to effectively advocate for the care my child needs. I was dismissed by numerous well meaning providers, but now, with the information I have from listening to all the professionals on this podcast, I can ask better questions and insist we see providers that can help us in improving my daughters airway and sleep. Thank you Hallie!
Always a great listen!
As a provider in this space, I appreciate the quality and content of each episode. Hallie keeps things fun while also delving into the technical without losing flow. I like hearing about myo and feeding from so many perspectives and I enjoy the atmosphere of sharing and collaboration. I highly recommend to new and seasoned practitioners as well as parents who are trying to navigate myofunctional concerns for their families. Keep it up, Hallie!
